Activision has revealed a new crossover event for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and Call of Duty: Warzone, bringing back the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. This isn't the first time these heroes have graced an Activision shooter.
While specifics regarding the collaboration's content and launch date (announced as "soon") remain undisclosed by the developers, the CODWarfareForum website has leaked some unconfirmed details.
Rumored additions include operator skins for all four Turtles (though the absence of April O'Neil, Master Splinter, and Shredder is disappointing). New melee weapons are also anticipated – a skateboard, katana, nunchucks, and a staff – potentially used for finishers. The Grind map, a skatepark, is speculated to be the central location for crossover events.
Despite the announcement, fan reaction has been muted. This isn't due to a lack of popularity for the TMNT franchise, but rather stems from the current troubled state of Black Ops Cold War. The game is plagued by bugs and rampant cheating, leading to a significant decline in its player base. This collaboration feels ill-timed, occurring amidst a period of crisis, with the event's longevity uncertain.
